Mauricio Sulaiman, president of the WBC, proposed using it for the upcoming fight between two world heavyweight champions Alexander Usik And Tyson Fury more judges than are normally used.
“That was my recommendation. Let's see. Boxing is a sport in which change is difficult to achieve. We are traditionalists and do not want changes. I will continue to make suggestions. Some responsible people like this idea. We proposed using five or six judges, but this proposal was not considered. I would recommend it,” Suleiman was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
Let us remind you that the confrontation between Usik and Fury will take place on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The title of absolute heavyweight champion will be at stake in this fight.
